[Albion] Tariq Lamptey

You’d imagine he’s playing tomorrow

Doubt he will if he’s on his way

Another player I’ll be pissed off at being shipped out

 

[Machiavelli]

Disappointing to see him go. Best of luck to him.

Are you driving him there?

So far we’ve lost Barco, Peupion and Moder this window. Upset about any of them ?

I’d wait and see what happens with Lamptey and Ferguson. Sounds like he travelled to Forest. And I imagine Lamptey might too.

I am unhappy about Barco, Facu and Enciso. I imagine Facu is the only one who might be coming back

Losing Lamptey as well is not great

My Albion mojo has taken a big hit since last Saturday, but being a fickle bastard it’ll all change again if we get a surprise win tomorrow

As long as we sign some young wingers I will be happy, if they are injury prone then all the better.

I won’t be happy if we don’t sign a couple of injury prone midfielders as well

We “lost” Facu in August. And he and Enciso will be back . But who knows what the squad will be like in Aug 25.
Lamptey - I’d wait and see.
Barco - couldn’t really get a game with us, couldn’t get a game on loan and we’ve lost nothing on the deal. But yep.

To my mind Barco should be here as cover for Estupinian, even more so if Lampety goes.

I am concerned about our squad management.

We seem intent on getting rid of our most exciting young players.

No, we’re not intent on that. There’s a complex permutation of circumstances eg the player wanting to play more regularly and/or another club making a big offer and/or the coach/club deciding the player is surplus to current requirements and/or other stuff that sometimes (not always) amounts to a move. It’s just not true to say that our intention is to dispose of exciting young players though there is certainly a turnover. Think of all the exciting young players we’ve acquired in the past few months, for instance.

Really ?? Like Baleba, Pedro, Minteh, Hinshelwood, Adingra, Rushworth, Ayari, McConville, Gruda, Gomez, O Riley, Verbruggen, and Georginio ? (And Enciso, Buonanotte, Dalcouye , Beadle on loan and are still Albion players ) and youth internationals like 16 year old Simmonds, Howell who are already u21 regulars. Where did it all go wrong ?

Or it could be that our German manager is just not a fan of flair players.

Jury is out on most of the new players as they are mostly sick notes so far

I get your point and I am probably not being logical about this but to my mind Facu, Ensico and Barco are all players that get you out of your seat when they are on the ball. Players I love to watch, and they are gone. If Evan goes too I am going to be even more concerned.

However I take your point and will be more patient. Trust the process, it is what it is etc.

Yep. We've JUST TURNED DOWN £90m for MITOMA. !!!

 

[Flounce]

Yep. We've JUST TURNED DOWN £90m for MITOMA. !!!

I suggest Mitoma turned that move down, should we have held a gun to his head?

I reckon if he was up for it, he’d have been flown to Saudi on an Albion sponsored Lear Jet

I am talking about players that get you out of your seat when they get the ball. To my mind the three I mentioned are more exciting players than all those you listed.

Time will tell on Gruda and Minteh. And I am not arguing the quality of our young players. I am talking about flair.

Barco ? Out of your seat ? Never saw enough of him. Enciso ? He's not GONE. He's in East Anglia admittedly but i'm sure he'll find his way back. And Buananotte isn't gone either. Some of our best players were loaned out like this. (Eg: Mitoma, Caicedo, Van Hecke, Rushworth) etc. They do come back !.

You said FAB didn't fancy flair players. Presumably was keen to keep the flairiest player of all.
(as are Georginio, Minteh, Baleba, Pedro, and Adingra come to that)

Yep Barco, out of my seat. He is one of those players.

 

[chaileyjem]

Yep Barco, out of my seat. He is one of those players.

Unfortunately he didn't himself get out of his seat on loan which is why he's been (effectively sold) . hasn't started a game for months.
